A #book delivery to cheer up Monday morning
Courtesy of Bert's Books and #buyastrangerabook day on @biggreenbooks

@biggreenbooks I'd be all for it! Trying to leave the birdsite behind and always loved #BuyAStrangerABook

I'm doing #buyastrangerabook on Twitter right now.

If you don't know what it is, basically, people offer to buy books for other people, because they want to (and it's ace!).

I do it every Wednesday.

I expect it would work on Mastodon too, except that Direct Messages on here aren't quite so secure.

I'm sure I could work round that, so maybe I'll try it on here one day soon.

I do a thing on Twitter called #buyastrangerabook

You can read about it here. https://inews.co.uk/culture/books/how-one-bookshop-is-letting-strangers-are-buy-each-other-books-via-twitter-157335

Anyway, it occurs to me that it might be worth trying something like that on here sometime, so as soon as I can work out how to do it, I'll give it a go!

In the meantime, if you're still on Twitter, it's all going off right now!

Drat, forgot to send this to you, @biggreenbooks! Let's try that again.

Toot toot Simon. I am finding @gretathunberg #climatebook really good, thanks for sending it. It is a bit pricey and may be difficult to afford for some people who are nevertheless keen to read it. So, I would like to #buyastrangerabook, specifically this book, please.
